Start 11 very intrusive update notification

Should be improved or fixed

from Stardock Forums

Hi every one, I like Start 11 very much but there is something really annoying and disturbing.

I'm often working with a lot of full screen app, or sometimes also play fullscreen games, and all running activity is suddently interuupted just to show that there is an update

 !!!

That's very intrusive and disturbing as it can take some times to restore the full screen mode for many applications.

Please could you do it less intrusive, like changing the color of the Windows button in the taskbar, or even pop this windows in background instead of making it inteerupt everything that is running ?

Thank you.

User experience should be the most important for this app, as we install it because the Microsoft task bar doesn't offer a good user experience.

 

Thank you.

Try turning off "Let Start11 check for updates automatically."

From my understanding, the OP still want the notification for updates, just not too intrusive. If he turn that off, no notification will ever come up. He will need to check it manually.

Thank you,

Hi ! Yes of course I don't want to disable the update detection.

Just make the notification a normal notification :D

Yeah, the notification should use Windows built-in notification service. Clicking the notification should launch the Start11 update window.
